About the practice
Developmental optometry, reimagined.
At Visual Processing Optometry we focus on vision problems related to reading, attention, dizziness, balance, and movement. We work with patients identified as neurodivergent — including those with attention disorders or on the autism spectrum — and routinely collaborate with educational therapists, neuro-psychologists, neurologists, occupational and physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, ABA therapists, and audiologists.
Vision involves far more than reading letters on an eye chart. We see and observe our world not just with our eyes — vision is actually processed in the brain. When it isn't processed correctly, it can disrupt nearly every activity of daily life. When vision doesn't develop correctly, when skills are lost to concussion or neurological injury, or when a career can benefit from visual enhancement such as athletic performance — we can help.
Neuro-Optometric Care
Therapy and rehabilitation grounded in how visual circuits actually work and rewire.
Human-First
Every plan reflects the person — age, goals, sensitivities, and life context.
Collaborative
We coordinate with the full team supporting each patient — clinical and educational.
